Cactus, yeast, acid and water and yet the end result is akin to a shave!, 17 Sept. 2015

I was actually looking forward to test driving this product from the “The Father of Internal Skincare”, a title Dr Murad supposedly gained from being an originator of the use of dietary supplements to promote skin health as well as pioneering the use of Alpha Hydroxy Acids in topical skin care. At least therefore someone who has spent a life time studying skin!

That aside, like all such cosmetic products one has to carefully (very carefully) read between the lines of the claims & miracles as promised on the packaging. In this case we are told that the new advanced formula (was there an old one?) will “Brighten, smooth and hydrate skin to see a radiant glow after just one treatment”. It goes on.....”Glycolic Acid exfoliates to accelerate turnover of dark damaged cells, removing dullness and improving skin texture. Myrtle Extract supports cellular renewal to boost youthful resilience and elasticity. Vitamin C and Indian Fig protect against free...

Another excellent skin care product from Dr. Murad, 17 Aug. 2015

One tiny squirt goes a really long way, so make sure you don't over dispense. To get the best use out of the facial peel you may decide only to target areas that would benefit from a bit of a sort out. Most people's cheeks and necks are ok, so the nose and chin, or forehead might be possible sites. Certainly don't put it anywhere near your eyes, as it does tingle when on. It doesn't set hard like a traditional face pack, it stays a white cream, truly you need hardly any to get the result you want. After a few minutes wash off with warm water. So this is one for the bathroom/shower room shelf, rather than the dressing table. Then, you notice the closed pores, the decrease in grease, the fresh faced feeling of a really good clean. I don't notice any irritation or inflammation of my 60+ year skin, just that promised tingling to show that it has worked. The name 'peel' does sound slightly scary, as if you might just rip off a sheet of skin, no this is gentler and less dramatic...

Good cleansing mask., 13 Aug. 2015

Good quality face mask, used exactly the sae way as others. It is softer than most, didn't harden into a crackled surface, and it was a bit tingly but not painfully or unpleasantly so. It's only 50ml and at the advertised price I was only going to use it on my face and neck rather than down onto my chest, because if it was as good as the price indicated then I'll save it up for areas that need most hsbitual TLC.

I did give my face a good scrub with face wash first and exfoliated beforehand , so that if there were unusual effects from this product they'd be noticeable. I cannot in all honestly say that there were, any more than my normal product from a well known High Street beauty shop.

This left my skin very clean, like all face masks removing all the deep ground into the pores muck, and don't know if you'd say glowing, more very clean and physically tingling really, but every single one of my wrinkles remains stubbornly in situ.

The packaging is different to the...
